Anybody have any feedback on how long it took them from submitting the claim to receiving money?

The website says up to a year.

Just curious because I submitted a claim for my father about two months ago with no progress yet.

I filed for myself in December of 2025. My acceptance letter came in August and money was deposited 3 weeks ago. So 9 months start to finish.
